I had been wanting to make a slipcover for our ottoman for a while. It's still a nice ottoman, but it's leather and we want to keep it protected. It didn't take long for that one piece of the leather set to start showing more wear and tear than the others. One time, I made a little "shower cap" type of cover for it, and it's ugly as sin. So when I came across this ottoman slipcover tutorial from Sew4Home, I fell in love.

The nice thing about the tutorial is that it shows you how to make it to your own measurements, since chances are, we all have different sized ottomans. Mine is more rounded, which I didn't consider ideal for this project, but I still think it worked out well.

A great thing about slipcovers is that you can pick up a mismatched piece of furniture just about anywhere (yard sale, thrift store, new) and make it work with your decor. In the entries to our recent gift certificate giveaway, some of you said you'd like to learn how to make slipcovers. This is not a couch or a chair, but it's one piece of your living room furniture to get you started!
